Chapter 477: Chapter 477: Lanni Barnes
Hearing the words of ’Firey Barnes’, the Clan Chief, Wyatt’s breath quickened.
The person who could be referred to as ’Third Brother’ by Firey Barnes...there seems to be only one person under the heavens...
Lanni Barnes!
That is, his own cheap father.
Don’t ntion that he, as soone who had crossed over from Earth, had no emotional attachnt to this cheap father whom he had never t.
Even the previous ’Wyatt’ had no mories about this cheap father.
A father, to Wyatt, felt too distant, too ethereal.
However, the sudden appearance of soone who had been missing for exactly twenty-three years still left him shocked and in disbelief.
"Uncle Four, is it really my father?"
Wyatt looked at Swany Barnes and asked involuntarily.
An unprecedented apprehension.
Swany Barnes gave a slight smile, "Rather than asking if he’s your father, why don’t you go in and find out yourself?"
It wasn’t until Wyatt stepped into the grand hall that he understood the aning of Swany Barnes’ words...
Inside the grand hall, a tall young man stood opposite the Barnes family’s Clan Chief, ’Firey Barnes’.
Now, hearing his footsteps, the two turned almost simultaneously to look over.
Wyatt’s gaze completely fell on the young man.
The young man was dressed in blue robes, his hair casually scattered over his shoulders, and his handso face was clean.
The young man had sword-like eyebrows and firm facial features. His sharp edges were as if they were chiselled.
What surprised Wyatt the most was...
The young man’s appearance was six or seven points similar to his own...
At the sa ti, facing this young man, an inexplicably connected feeling of the sa bloodline rose in his heart.
In this mont, without needing any words, Wyatt had already confird the identity of this young man.
Lanni Barnes!
His cheap father.
The husband his mother had been longing for day and night.
While Wyatt was looking at Lanni Barnes, Lanni Barnes was also looking at him.
Wyatt could see the traces of excitent hidden in Lanni Barnes’s eyes...
That was an excitent from his heart, from the depth of his soul.
"You...You’re Wyatt?"
Lanni Barnes strode forward, taking three steps to reach Wyatt, extending his hand towards Wyatt’s face.
If it were soone else, Wyatt would have kicked the person away long ago...
But at this mont, Wyatt did not do so, letting the other person reach out and touch his face.
Sohow, a warm feeling rose in his heart.
This feeling was getting more and more intense!
"Dad..."
At this mont, even Wyatt didn’t expect that he would directly acknowledge Lanni Barnes as his father.
One must know, at the mont when he saw Lanni Barnes, he harbored resentnt towards Lanni Barnes.
He resented Lanni Barnes for not coming back earlier and letting his mother suffer so much.
Now all of this, as so inexplicable coincidence, left him confused.
It was as if his subconscious was compelling him to do so.
"You...What did you just call ? You...You called
’Dad’?"
Lanni Barnes’ face was filled with excitent and surprise, clearly he didn’t expect this son, whom he had never t before, to directly acknowledge him as father.
After all, over these years, it was he who had failed Wyatt.
Even if Wyatt didn’t want to admit him as his father, he wouldn’t be surprised, let alone bla Wyatt.
For over twenty years, he never perford his duty as a father.
"Aren’t you my dad?"
Upon hearing Lanni Barnes’s words, Wyatt was taken aback.
"No...No! I am your dad, I am your dad!"
Lanni Barnes was seemingly tongue-tied, fearing that Wyatt wouldn’t recognize him as his father.
Wyatt laughed.
Only, his smile soon completely froze.
When his spirit force touched Lanni Barnes, he shockingly discovered that there was absolutely no ’Origin Force’ inside Lanni Barnes
When his spirit force fused into Lanni Barnes’s Dantian, he found no trace of Origin Force at all.
"Dad, your... your Origin Force..."
Wyatt’s face changed.
Although, he didn’t find any broken traces in Lanni Barnes’s Dantian with his spirit force, Lanni Barnes’s body indeed didn’t have a single trace of Origin Force.
One has to know that Lanni Barnes, twenty-three years ago, was already a ’Fighter of Original Infant Realm’.
Now, twenty-three years have passed.
Logically speaking, with Lanni Barnes’s demonstrated talent back then, it wouldn’t be difficult for his strength to break through to the ’Enter Void Realm’.
But now, not only was Lanni Barnes not a Fighter of Original Infant Realm, but all the Origin Force from his body had completely disappeared.
Of course, Wyatt didn’t rule out that Lanni Barnes’s strength might have had so kind of adventure, and promoted to the ’Cave Void Realm’...
However, even if they were Cave Void Realm fighters, although Wyatt couldn’t see the depth of their strength, he could still sense the Origin Force inside their bodies,
Now, there was not a single trace of Origin Force inside Lanni Barnes’s body.
The result Wyatt found was, Lanni Barnes was now nothing more than a ’Ninth Level Fighter of Body Tempering Realm’ who had not yet developed Origin Force!
This was no different from a martial artist who had his Dantian wasted.
At this mont.
Wyatt Barnes vaguely realized that perhaps this was related to the reason for his father’s disappearance over the years.
As it turned out, Wyatt was not wrong in his guessing.
"My Origin Force no longer exists..."
Lanni Barnes sighed, "Back then, I went to the ’Marshland of Death’ to find the ’Abyss Flower’ for you and your mother, but sothing unexpected happened... For so reasons, I was not in control of myself for the past twenty-three years and could not co back to you and your mother!"
At this point, a cold light flashed in Lanni’s eyes, "If not for wanting to co back to you and your mother, I would have chosen mutual destruction with that man, and dragged him to die with ... I wouldn’t have been manipulated by him for so many years, barely prolonging my life till now!"
At this mont, Wyatt could feel the chilling intent in Lanni’s tone.
Who is that man?
Wyatt’s face darkened, and he asked, "Father, who is that man? I will avenge you!"
"No need."
Lanni shook his head.
Wyatt was imdiately puzzled.
Lanni explained, "That man has paid for his sins and has completely perished... Otherwise, your father may not have been able to co back to you and your mother."
"That let him off too easily."
Wyatt snorted coldly, his eyes full of icy determination.
That man, he not only ruined his father but also left his mother helpless and alone all these years...
He wished he could tear that man to shreds!
"Anyway, the reunion of you two is a happy event."
Firey Barnes, who had been standing quietly, finally spoke.
"Yes, Brother Lanni. Even if you have lost all your strength, you still have an extraordinary son... From now on, you should just enjoy the good life."
Swany Barnes also said.
Lanni nodded, turned to Wyatt, and said with a guilty face, "Wyatt, the Clan Chief told
about your past... Your mother and you have suffered a lot these years. This is all my fault."
"Father, let’s not bring up the past anymore. The fact that you’re back is a great blessing amidst misfortune... I think mom will be very happy to see you."
Wyatt comforted Lanni, smiling by the end of his sentence.
At Wyatt’s words, Lanni’s body shivered slightly.
Soon, Wyatt bid farewell to Firey and Swany Barnes, and left the Barnes family mansion with Lanni.
On the road, Wyatt wanted to ask Lanni about his experiences over the past twenty years.
However, he quickly realized that Lanni was reluctant to talk about it.
"Judging by Father’s attitude...it must be an experience he doesn’t want to recall."
Wyatt thought to himself, and decided not to pry further.
Not long after, Wyatt brought Lanni back to his own mansion.
"Young Master, who is this..."
Valentina was completely stunned when she saw Lanni standing next to Wyatt.
The reason was that Lanni and Wyatt looked too alike.
"Valentina, this is my Father"
Wyatt smiled and replied.
Valentina was shocked and lost her poise briefly. She quickly bowed to Lanni and said, "Greetings, Master".
As she understood it,
Didn’t the Young Master’s father disappear more than twenty years ago?
His sudden return was surprising.
"Father, this is Valentina, the steward of my mansion."
Wyatt introduced her to Lanni.
Lanni gave a small nod to Valentina with a gentle smile, but his gaze quickly drifted away, scanning the mansion.
Valentina guessed what Lanni was looking for and said with a smile: "Master, the Mada is in the back yard."
"backyard?"
Lanni’s eyes lit up, and his handso, determined face began to tremble with excitent...
"Father, co with ."
Wyatt led Lanni to the backyard.
In the backyard, a slender figure stood in the distance, tending the plants and flowers. Her silhouette was as beautiful as a painting, attracting instant attention.
"Wyatt, you’re back?"
Hearing the footsteps, the woman slowly turned around, "I heard from Valentina that you had gone out early this morning..."
She didn’t finish her sentence because she was completely stunned at that mont.
The man who had appeared in her dreams countless tis over the past twenty years was standing right in front of her...
So real and yet, so illusory.
"Brother Lanni...I...I’m not dreaming, am I?"
The woman’s gaze completely bypassed Wyatt and landed on Lanni, who was standing next to Wyatt, her eyes filled with unspeakable excitent.
The woman’s body trembled violently, her eyes full of uneasiness, fearing that this was just a dream.
She didn’t even have the courage to pinch herself to make sure if she was dreaming.
Because if it turned out to be a dream, it would an waking up from the fantasy...
She didn’t want to break this beautiful mont.
Even if it was just a dream, she wished it would never end, wishing that this mont could be ’eternal’.
At this mont, Lanni’s body was also trembling slightly.
His emotions mirrored those of the woman before him, "Na...Natalie..."
"Mother!"
Seeing that his father ’Lanni’ stood still, Wyatt shook his head and laughed, shouting loudly:
"You’re not dreaming...Father is back! Your intuition all these years was right, Father is not dead, he truly isn’t."
After he finished speaking, Wyatt watched as Lanni and Christina woke up from their dream-like states, running towards each other. He couldn’t help but smile, turn around, and leave the backyard.
